🇷🇺🇺🇦🛰️📸 - Optical satellite imagery has been everywhere since the start of the war.

IMINT analysts use it to understand what's happening on the ground and provide intelligence.

Some of them use a trick: AI.

Here are some key detections made by AI on the conflict.

1/5 🧵⬇️
Hostomel, Ukraine.

AI provided situational awareness on a critical image - spotting the Russian column arriving towards the place and the already messed up hangars.

Introducing Social Media Intelligence (#SOCMINT)
One intelligence professional said it was like ‘searching the British Library for a page in a book without an index to refer to’. Social media did not fit into their systems of receiving, corroborating, prioritizing and
disseminating information, and therefore was not properly acted on. Her Majesty’s Chief Inspector of Constabulary noted: ‘With some notable individual exceptions, the power of this kind of media (both for sending out and receiving information) is not well understood and less well
managed’. He concluded that ‘the police have much to learn about social media, and the quickly shifting modern communications of today’. Since then, Government has reacted. The Metropolitan Police has established a social media hub, in time for the London Olympics. A number of

Cómo Investigar un número de teléfono con #OSINT
Comparto Tools y Tips para encontrar pistas de quien está detrás de un número...
Qué empiece el hilo 🧵⬇️
Es necesario decir algunas cosas:
1⃣ Centraré en herramientas gratuitas o con versiones trial. Investigar un número con una de botón gordo de $2.000 es fácil.
2⃣ La mayoría será para acceder desde un navegador (incluso del móvil) y for Windows.
3⃣ Usad para fines educativos
Aah, ya me olvidaba:
4⃣ Enfocado en números españoles.
Sí, amigo (que vive o investiga) en el extranjero...podrás adaptar la mayoría de las tools. 😏
Evitaré publicar webs que solo traen datos de EEUU

No estoy aburrido ni me falta trabajo (todo al revés) pero me apetecía escribir este hilo sobre unas cosas que quizás no sabías del Google Maps... Una píldora de #OSINT #IMINT en esta tarde calurosa.
Qué empiece el hilo 🧵⬇️ Image
Dejo claro que es una herramienta que me encanta como usuario e investigador, pero vaya tela...
Algo que siempre me molestó es el hecho de que las fotos sacadas con Google Street View estén ofuscadas y las que suben los usuarios NO. (como la portada de este hilo). WTF Google?
Ya he dejado mi queja en la esperanza de que @Google me conteste un día. Vamos a las #Tips.
Habéis notado que parte de las fotos/videos de sitios en el Maps están hechos con base a los contenidos de los usuarios... Incluso es posible saber cuando la foto fue publicada, Peeeeero Image

OSINT/IMINT: Making images talk. (Keep in mind that using Open Source Intelligence tools & methods has limitations, *info posted here may need further verifications/confirmations. let's take a moment to analyse open source images. #osint #ukraine #chechens #hitsquad 1/3
Mapping movements with timings, this photo seems to have been taken prior to deployment, maybe on the day of deployment? Carrying bags means departure and taking a photo of all 3 means it's an important day. (left to Right: Tushaev, Martynov, Mezhidov)
Individual amongst Chechens. No patches/rankings. No weapons showing meaning he may not be interested in fighting. (mentor?). Look at the Chechen Republic aide's body language, knees are bent, facing forward, this guy may be higher up in rank. Facial rec confidence level is high.

La frontière entre la #Pologne 🇵🇱 et la #Biélorussie 🇧🇾 est actuellement le théâtre d’une crise géopolitique.

Depuis le 8/11, entre 3000 et 4000 migrants ont afflué à #Kuznica pour tenter de passer en Europe.
Ce vendredi 12/11, environ 2 000 personnes, principalement Irakiens et Syriens, se sont regroupés le long de la frontière, à proximité du poste-frontière de Kuźnica - Bruzgi.

Looks like #RSAF 🇸🇦 is going surgical on Houthi positions [which is according to local reports, rather wait for #IMINT], if so, UAV and BM attack by #Houthis on central/western KSA could be expected.

Latest imagery is from yesterday, guess I have to wait a little bit more. Image

Worth using google translate to watch the #propagandalive as @Erkanomia is in #Moscow to cover the #Kremlin #Military parade #HappeningNow. Some ++good #OSINT & #IMINT in his #live & candid coverage. 😎
For example, while the #Moscow #Elite typically use a black #SUV with license plate ending in 88 (sometimes 888 for family of senior officials & oligarchs who must #Drive themselves), here we see the first of the latest #cars with new #licenseplatedata.

Close-up I made from the #Finland team's #photography showing @mod_russia's Army #celebrity #swag bags for the Diamond Jubilee #celebration of the #Soviet #WWII win... ignoring 1939-1941 🙄

The Hon Minister Mr Singh, #IndianArmedForces, is a special guest at #VictoryDayParade.

In Jan 2018, Turkish forces launched Op Olive Branch in #Afrin which saw indiscriminate attacks killing "scores of civilians" & leaving more than 160K IDPs. In this open source case, we found a component of the offensive was Italian-made T129 ATAK helis. #ItalianArms Thread 👇
We investigated hours of video content to analyse the destructive use of the Italian T129 in #Syria's Afrin. Here @thomassmulder geolocated this video () - goo.gl/maps/K7nraY94K… 2/ ImageImage
This T129 firing in #Syria's #Afrin was part of an offensive which saw "vulnerable civilians facing displacement and death because of the way Turkey’s latest offensive is being conducted" - one which #Turkey's President Erdoğan declared 'a siege' that 'would cut external aid' 3/
